Qatar Denies Funding Syria Extremists: We Consider Them All Terrorists
2014-09-27
[ABNA.IR] "We don't fund bad boys," Sheikh Tamim said in an interview with CNN aired Thursday. "If you talk about certain movements, especially in Syria and Iraq, we all consider them terrorist movements."
"Lies! All lies!"
"Yes, your Corpulence, we in the media know they're lies, as do our viewers. But while we talking heads agree with you, our mindless listeners think you're the one who's lying."
"But there are differences. There are differences that some countries and some people (believe) that any group which comes from Islamic background are terrorists. And we don't accept that."

Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
 has been accused of funding bad boy groups in Syria, as well as Egypt's banned Moslem Brüderbund, following Arab Spring uprisings.

But the gas-rich emirate, home to a major US military base, is now taking part in Washington's campaign against the ISIL group, which has seized swaths of Iraq and Syria.

The emir confirmed this participation.
"We've been asked by our American friends if we can join, and we did," he said.
But he insisted that beyond defeating bad boy movements in Syria, the long-term aim should be to "punish" the Syrian government.

"The main cause of all this is the regime in Syria, and this regime should be punished," he said.

"If we think that we're going to get rid of the terrorist movements and leave those regimes doing what -- this regime especially, doing what he is doing -- then terrorist movements will come back again," he warned.

Yes, in Qatar, one's relatives are usually terrorists.
